Assigning Quotas to a Group 

Use the following steps to assign a quota to a Group. A quota determines the amount of

page 40 for information on quotas.) 

1.   On the Set Up Groups screen, select the group from the left pane. 

2.   In the Quotas field, click Configure.

A share is an area on the WD My Cloud EX2 device for storing files (similar to a folder or 
directory). 

Note:  In this manual, we use the terms share and folder interchangeably. 

A share can be public so that all users can access the contents, or private to limit access to 
selected users. The Shares icon on the navigation bar displays a list of shares on the 

 

WD My Cloud EX2 device and enables the Administrator to manage shares and user 
access. 

USB flash drives can be mounted as a share, however, they are not editable.

Viewing a List of Shares

Click the Shares icon on the navigation bar to display a list of shares on the WD My Cloud 
EX2 device. For each share name, the description, media serving, and public access status 
display. 

Use the following steps to view a list of shares.
